Default Should I buy this 2014 LX570 with "minor" rust?

Hi everyone! Happy to be here! I need help determining if this rust under a 2014 LX570 is concerning or not? I am considering purchasing but I'm not well versed in rust damage. I'd appreciate any guidance to make my decision. Has 78K miles. I only have a couple photos that I grabbed from a quick video sent to me from sales person, but I'm hoping y'all can let me know if it's bad or not. thank you!

I think it looks fine…to me it looks like surface rust, which is no concern.

buy it, run it thru the local car wash on undercarriage scrub a couple of times, then take it to a mechanic who will woolwax it.

The steel on the very bottom needs to be REMOVED front to rear.

Once you've done that, take some pictures of what's above...that's what you use to judge underbody rust, if any.
